Mary's first job was in a drug store working at the take out counter. She would make and wrap sandwiches for the customers. She would later show here children how the wax paper was folded and taped at the bottom. Later she would wrap here children's sandwiches the same way everyday for school.

One Christmas when the family could not afford toys Mary made at least two stuffed animals, one for Gary, that was soft and fluffy and a stuffed horse for Judy. Judy was about 16 at the time and was upset that hers wasn't soft like Gary's toy. She says that now she would give anything to have it back again.

Memories from James Peeples: Ma worked at Noxema and would bring home cardboard of various sizes. I would sit at the kitchen table and draw pictures and color them in. One side was shinny and the other was dull and unpolished. Her co-worker Miss Helen lived on West 33rd street and we would go to her house in the summers for cookouts. She drove a car pool and took several people, including Ma to work early every morning. Miss Helen's daughter had a pet hamster, this is the first time I saw one and had to have one for a pet. I don't recall his name but for a while he lived in a cage on the kitchen floor, later we kept him outside on the back porch during the summer. He eventually got out and ran away.

Watching fireworks and eatting home made fudge from the back bedroom window, usually the window on the right side. You could see the airial part of the show that they put on at Memorial Stadium from over the tree tops. Once we went to see the show, I had a nice time. We walked home.
